Here's the difference, I believe, in what I was getting at.
In some quarters there seems to be an undue amount of enthusiasm for the Big 10 getting those "moderate names" from anywhere/everywhere else than would be the case for other conferences.
Steal FSU away, okay, I get the enthusiasm. They're a traditional draw that has history of having national appeal. Pretty much anybody else in the discussion though, honestly ... c'mon. (As noted previously UNC & Duke ain't going anywhere). GT doesn't generate much excitement in their own city, much less state, so why would someone get overly jacked up about them as some sort of hypothetical coup?
